I have recently been assailed with dreadful days of continuous sneezing, wheezing and dribbling nose and eyes. Loratidine not working. I used to be like this in my 20s and 30s but then it went away. I wasnt expecting it in my 60s. Had a phone call from a sympathetic GP today who has prescribed something I have never heard of. I dont have any pets and haven't been gardening/farming. anyone else suffering from seasonal rhinitis and what helps you please?

Thank you for the responses - the mould discussion is interesting - we have had toadstools on the front lawn for the first time ever. This is a semi rural area and lots of activity still in the fields. Farm machinery goes up and down through the town all week carrying lifestock and hay so it could be any of these I suppose.
